He replied, "Typical." Always an insult one never knows how many unspoken sins one is being accused of, with "typical".
***
And then my mom eats my dad.
I'd come downstairs when the screaming had died down a bit. I sometimes wonder still why dad hadn't made any noise. That was so like him. He always just stood there and took it: whatever she did, whatever she said. I bet when she started to gnaw on his right arm he just said, Oh now Sumatra, don't be like that. I bet when she bit out his throat, his final words were, Darling, have I upset you somehow?
***
A minute wasted is a minute gone forever, as my own grandmother used to say; which is an idiotic maxim when you come to think of it, since even if you fill the minute to the bursting point with meaningful activity, it will be gone forever anyway.
***
It does not create a good impression on children to ask the why they have been so silly, as I know from sad experience. My poor son Norman, now shredded and partially masticated, would simply respond with a sullen look when told he had been silly, even when he was technically grown up.
In retrospect, it was not the most tactful thing for me to have said to him at his wedding reception, although without doubt appropriate enough. Anyone with a head on her shoulders could tell that marriage was going to be a train wreck.
***
There is absolutely no point however in arguing with a man in love about his silliness when large breasts are part of the bargain. It only makes them scowl.

Her second failure was as a wedding photographer. There was always an air of prewar doom about her photographs, which no retoucher could eradicate. It was as though the entire wedding party would wind up in the trenches or the gas chambers by and by.

"Think of the new era that is being born. The world has learned its lesson at last, at last. The closing chapter to ten thousand years of madness and greed is being written right here and now - in Nuremberg. Books will be written about it. Movies will be made about it. It's the most important turning point in history." I believed it.
"Walter," she said, "sometimes I think you are only eight years old."
"It's the only age to be," I said, "when a new era is being born."
***
He then quoted the harrowing thing that Jesus, according to Saint Matthew, had promised to say in the Person of God to sinners on Judgment Day.
This is it: "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
These words appalled me then, and they appall me now. They are surely the inspiration for the notorious cruelty of Christians.
"Jesus may have said that," I told Larkin, "but it is so unlike most of what else He said that I have to conclude that He was slightly crazy that day."
***
It is a hard daydream to let go of - that one has friends.
***
I was incurious about the arrival of Virgil Greathouse. His arrival, like the arrival of any new prisoner, would be a public execution of sorts. I did not want to watch him or anybody become less than a man. So I was all alone in the supply room. I was grateful for the accident of privacy. I took advantage of it. I performed what was perhaps the most obscenely intimate physical act of my life. I gave birth to a broken, querulous little old man by doing this: by putting on my civilian clothes.
